Songs/Rhymes

If I Were a Bird

If I were a bird

I’d sing a song (Use ASL for "bird" here!)

And fly about (Flap your wings!)

The whole day long.

And when the night came

I’d go to rest (Tuck in your wings!)

Up in my cozy little nest. (Cup your hands for a nest!)

Little Birds

Little birds, little birds, jump up and down

Little birds, little birds, don't make a sound

Tip-toe to me

Bend your knees

Peep, peep, peep

Sleep, sleep, sleep

Fly to the leaves

Sit down please.

Shaker Eggs

(tune: For He's a Jolly Good Fellow)

We shake our eggs together

We shake our eggs together

We shake our eggs together

Because it's fun to do!

We shake them up high

We shake them down low

We shake them in the middle

Because it's fun to do!

Two Little Blackbirds

Two little blackbirds sitting on a hill

One named Jack and one named Jill

Two little blackbirds flying in the sky.

One named Low and one named High...

Two little blackbirds sitting on a pole.

One named Fast and one named Slow...

Two little blackbirds sitting on a cloud

One named quiet and one named LOUD

Here Come Little Bird

Each child had felt bird to hold and put on body parts

Here comes little bird. 

He’s landing on my HEAD. (Land on different body parts.)

Bye, bye little bird. (Fly bird away.)

Fly! Fly! Fly!
